In Mannheim, the new hydrogen filling station at the rnv depot on Schlachthofstraße has opened to the public and rnv buses. This station supports 13 articulated buses, refuse collectors, small utility vehicles, and private cars by providing hydrogen refueling services at different pressure levels. The H2Rhein-Neckar project, part of the transition to non-fossil propulsion in Baden-Württemberg, demonstrates the positive environmental impact of expanding the hydrogen infrastructure for heavy vehicles. Martin Eggstein, from the Ministry for the Environment, emphasizes the emission savings achieved through this project. The filling station at the rnv depot is a crucial component of the regional hydrogen infrastructure, aligning with the efforts for climate neutrality in Mannheim. Christian Specht, Mayor of Mannheim, highlights the importance of a regionally networked approach for energy transition and decarbonization. Collaboration projects like H2Rhein-Neckar and H2Rivers play a central role in making the region future-proof and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. H2 Mobility, in charge of the filling station operations, plans to expand the hydrogen infrastructure by constructing stations in Heidelberg and Ludwigshafen. The rnv articulated bus fleet will use hydrogen at AFIR-compliant locations, aiming to convert the entire bus fleet to emission-free drives by 2032. Martin in der Beek, rnv's Technical Managing Director, sees hydrogen fuel cell buses as essential for achieving this goal by complementing regular electric buses and performing well on longer routes.
